Internal Republican disagreements have some watchers worried the new package might not get over the finish line before funding runs out.Correction - Feb. 15, 2023:The audio of this story suggests that the Farm Bill is the source of funding for the Women, Infants and Children nutrition program and the National School Lunch Program.
